“ north seattle has a big ethiopian popular and we're so lucky to have a couple of ethiopian restaurants in proximity to the university! they were so accommodating, friendly, and overall helpful during our entire dine in experience. veggie combo 4.5/5: i preferred some dishes more than others but that's the point of the combo plates. SO flavorful and i loved the variety! they also offered us extra injera if we needed any. i shared this combo with one other person and l the portions were super generous so we ended up having leftovers ”

“ First time having Ethiopian food. And it was a great experience thanks to the staff here and the food quality was phenomenal. Would love to try again. Had the ahadu combo which comes with 3-4 meat dishes and 2-3 different vegetarian options on their special soft bread. Loved every bite ”

“ Great experience and awesome Ethiopian food. The spices were perfect and we couldn't finish it all. ”

“ Best thing Injera spot I know of. Super friendly too which always helps, definitely recommend the tibs. ”

“ There's a lot of Ethiopian restaurants in this one block and since I've been to all of them, I can tell you this place is the best for meat. It makes sense because I think this place doubles as a butchery and know the owner next door is vegetarian. The items on the meat combo are some of the best ways you'll get served beef. The flavors really penetrate to the center of every chunk. However, jebena does better on the non meat dishes and their prices are quite a bit cheaper for the combo plates ($23 vs $35). Either way you can't go wrong but jebena is easier for to go to frequently just because of price. If I'm really in the mood for just big plates of meat then I'll come here and order the meat combo. ”

“ It always trips me out a little bit how often you see Ethiopian businesses all grouped together. They really make it into a community the way they set up shop in the same spots. This is awesome, except I kinda feel like I am leaving one favorite out in the cold when I eat at another one next door. That's my own weirdness, though. Eating here is nothing but great. It's kind of a rickety building, kind of an awkward intersection or two on your way here. There's decent parking, and a little covered porch out front with a couple tables. Inside there are a few simple tables, a counter in back, and a flat screen that's probably playing music. We watched a Jimmy Cliff concert while we had a late lunch yesterday. They're right out to greet you when you show up, cheerful and friendly, with a little swingtop bottle of ice water for you. The menu is a few pages long, but we always opt for the combo at any Ethiopian place, and this visit was no exception. I noticed on one of the back pages of the menu that you can order a variety of condiments with your meal, but the first serving of them is free. I didn't ask if we'd be getting condiments, and started thinking I'd have to order them when the food came. This turned out to be the coolest surprise we've had at an Ethiopian joint--they automatically brought out a little plate with tin bowls of mustard, a berbere sauce, and a powdered blend that seemed kinda berbere-ish itself. The injera is just what you want, showing that whiff of sourdough, with a great soft consistency. The vegetables all really shone here--awesome yellow lentils, couple kinds of beans, and even some roasted, lightly-seasoned purple beets. The usual spinach and dry white cheese filled up one corner. The meats are all solid; one of the beef dishes was a bit tough but had great flavor. We ended up demolishing everything, including every ounce of injera that was under the food. We were full all night even though we ate mid-afternoon! Prices here are very fair, and we'll be back often. ”

“ We ordered the meat combo and the vegetarian combo. Both were very delicious. The food had a lot of spice and flavor which I love! The vegetarian combo was actually one of the best ones I have tried, probably just as good as the meat. I usually prefer the meat dishes over the vegetable ones but found myself eating both equally. I was also surprised that there was no lamb dish on the menu. But the beef was excellent. My only gripe was they did not give us enough injera. I recommend ordering extra. I think their injera is less sour than the other two Ethiopian restaurant in the area. I prefer more sour. We will likely come back again. The food was great. ”

“ The food was fantastic but ambience and service was mediocre. This was the first time we tried ethiopian for and loved it! We ordered the meat combination. Flavors were fantastic; tart crepe with spicy meat and veggies. Very unique and flavorful. Service was slow; it took them quite a while to bring food. They mixed up our order once, but eventually brought the right food and since it tasted so good we overall had a good experience. ”
